Sorry, I'm a cultivator.

However, that's not the point!

"Taking a shower at this hour?" Jiang Wanzhao asked curiously. "What about the fan meeting and celebration party?"

"I didn't go, I didn't go." Jiang Xuetang waved her hand: "After the Heaven's Cup incident, how could I be in the mood to participate?"

"After all, the Heaven's Cup was snatched from my hands, which is a bit troublesome."

As she spoke, Jiang Xuetang leaned her buttocks against the edge of the washbasin covered with a towel. Her legs were too weak, and her body, having just tasted forbidden fruit, was also a little sore...

Jiang Wanzhao nodded slightly: "Where is Xingzhou?"

"He's researching the whereabouts of the fourth Heaven's Cup, isn't he?" Jiang Xuetang chuckled. "He's very focused. He's really going all out for you, his older sister."

That sounds very comforting.

Jiang Wanzhao's lips unconsciously curled into a smile: "Let me see..."

"Big sister, I'm still taking a shower!" Jiang Xuetang rolled her eyes. "Can't you see that only my head is showing? And you're not even home. Even if there aren't many people around the emperor's throne, can't you at least respect my privacy?"

Jiang Wanzhao pursed her lips: "Okay, then we'll talk about it after you've finished washing up."

"Okay." Jiang Xuetang gave an 'OK' sign and promptly ended the video call.

At this point, Cai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

So exciting!

Jiang Xuetang looked down at her fair and smooth body, thinking to herself that if she had known Wan Zhao was so easy to fool, she shouldn't have used magic to remove the hickeys on her body earlier.

However, this is also a good thing.

As long as you say that Xingzhou cares about her, her attention will be distracted, and she will be easily fooled.

Hey, if you find the right way, even the evening glow can't compare to your own intelligence.

Jiang Xuetang thought smugly, wrapped herself in a bath towel, and walked out of the bathroom. Back in the second bedroom, she immediately jumped onto Li Xingzhou's back: "Finished chatting, hehe~"

She swung her two long, slender, fair legs, splashing water droplets from her skin all over the ground.

"So fast?"

"How clever I am! I managed to fool Wanzhao with just a few words~" Jiang Xuetang said smugly. "By the way, don't you think we're like your wife waiting for you in China, while you and I, your lover, are having a secret rendezvous abroad?"

She paused, then added, "It's still in the house she bought."

Li Xingzhou turned to look at her, somewhat amused and exasperated: "You really know how to talk."

"Isn't this the truth?" Jiang Xuetang kissed him on the cheek. "Isn't this called having an affair?"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Li Xingzhou pointed to the bed sheet: "Should we cut that piece off?"

"Of course!"

Jiang Xuetang scrambled onto the bed: "It's tradition!"

Li Xingzhou smiled without saying a word, watching Jiang Xuetang carefully cut off the bed sheet and keep it safe, before asking, "She really didn't suspect anything?"

"No, how could it be exposed so easily?" Jiang Xuetang snorted. "She doesn't know when we met, so she certainly wouldn't think that we slept together after knowing each other for such a short time."

“That’s true.” Li Xingzhou sat down on the edge of the bed, looking at Jiang Xuetang’s beautiful curves, which resembled a peach, as she lay down, his eyes full of admiration.

"Are you still thinking about it?" Jiang Xuetang snuggled against Li Xingzhou's arm seductively. "Do you want to or not?"

Li Xingzhou slapped her with his palm. Jiang Xuetang's skin was very delicate, so even though the force was not strong, a red palm print quickly appeared on her fair skin.

Jiang Xuetang rolled her eyes at him: "You're such a hypocrite."

As she spoke, she climbed into his arms and said, "Look, the kiss marks from before are gone. Shall we leave another one?"

She whispered in Li Xingzhou's ear, "Keep kissing me... all messed up..."

Two fair and beautiful long legs were spread straight apart on either side of Li Xingzhou, with even and straight lines. The delicate and tender feet were stretched straight out, while the ten pink and pearly toes gradually curled up.

The soft, large bed didn't creak, but Jiang Xuetang's alluring charm caused her long, slender legs and two tempting lotus feet to sway up and down...

Before anyone knew it, Jiang Xuetang's peach blossom eyes were already half-open, curved like a crescent moon, revealing an indescribable allure and desire.

"You and my mom, there's really nothing between you, right?"

Jiang Xuetang's sudden question left Li Xingzhou speechless for a moment, wondering why she would suddenly ask such a question.

However, he did not respond, but was simply enjoying the moment.

Perhaps annoyed that he didn't give a direct answer, Jiang Xuetang kept rolling her eyes at him.

Even when she was angry, her slender, snow-white legs still affectionately crossed behind his waist, her snow-white insteps intertwined, her jade toes curled up, forming a pair of delicate lotus feet.

······

Liu Ying stood silently beside Jiang Wanzhao, secretly surprised. She hadn't expected that it was indeed Li Xingzhou who had stolen the Heavenly Cup.

She didn't doubt Li Xingzhou's strength, but to openly steal the Heavenly Cup in a place like Tianqi Island... was he too strong, or had the representatives of various forces stationed on Tianqi Island become weaker?

Moreover, the Chief of Staff really trusts him.

"bath……"

Holding her phone, Jiang Wanzhao murmured, "Wash it at my house..."

Jiang Wanzhao didn't suspect that her best friend and her younger brother had something going on, but the fact that her friend was taking a shower in the house she had bought for him felt strange no matter how she thought about it.

It was as if someone else had already entered the house first.

My best friend is taking a shower in the house I bought for my sweetheart... Does this mean I've been cheated on?

If not, then is it a sign that you're about to be cheated on?

No, no, how can that be counted?

Jiang Xuetang herself said that she treats Li Xingzhou as a younger brother, and the two have only known each other for a short time, so how could they have developed feelings for each other so quickly?

Furthermore, they have me in the middle. Surely these two can't be so heartless as to not consider their own position?

Jiang Wanzhao let out a soft breath, collected her thoughts, and put her phone away. Since she had asked Xuetang to help look after Xingzhou, she should trust her more.

I'll make a video call after the meeting ends.

Jiang Wanzhao looked at the civil and military officials below who had almost reached a conclusion, and slowly began to explain his marching plan.

She already had a plan in mind, but wanted to hear her subordinates' opinions. If they had good suggestions, she would adopt them; otherwise, she would stick to the original plan.

You can't let yourself worry about everything.

Jiang Wanzhao lightly tapped the armrest of the dragon throne with her fingertips and began calling out the names of the leading generals.

······

"Hmph hmph hmph~"

After taking a shower, Jiang Xuetang, wrapped in a bath towel, walked out of the bathroom humming a little tune.

It was already dark, and the living room curtains were drawn, so Jiang Xuetang sat on the sofa without any worries, drying her beautiful hair.

Having already finished showering, Li Xingzhou went into the master bedroom to continue studying the third Heaven's Cup, so apart from Jiang Xuetang's humming, there was no other sound in the room.

until--

Tong Yan peeked out of the study and looked at Jiang Xuetang on the sofa.

"You're there?"

Jiang Xuetang glanced at Tong Yan with slight surprise: "What were you doing before?"

Tong Yan blinked her blue eyes: "Write a diary."

"Write a diary?"

Jiang Xuetang was taken aback. Her own Xingchen Group also produced automatons, so she knew that automatons all acted through pre-programmed intelligent programs.

Now you're telling me that something without any independent thought would write a diary?

Is this reasonable?

Jiang Xuetang, who had even forgotten to dry her hair, got up and walked towards Tong Yan: "What diary? Let me see..."

"Can't!"

Tong Yan rushed back to the study and slammed the door shut: "If the diary has been seen, is it still a diary?"

"Oh my!" Jiang Xuetang, standing at the study door, was even more surprised: "You can even tell jokes?"

Jiang Xuetang found it even more interesting. The automatons came in different types: maids, beast girls, comedic characters, tile-breaking characters, and those that used internet slang...

The "baby face" is clearly not in these categories, because Li Xingzhou said that the "baby face" is an automated doll for research subjects.

This kind of automaton should theoretically be very intelligent and have maxed out its support attributes, but Tong Yan is not only gluttonous, but has also never taken the initiative to help Li Xingzhou...

Such a food-loving automaton can actually write a diary... Jiang Xuetang is a little curious to study what kind of program is in her head.

"I'm not watching anymore, can we talk?"

Jiang Xuetang changed her approach and knocked on the door: "I definitely won't go into the study. Come out, I'll order you some delicious takeout."

Tong Yan flung the door open, her eyes shining brightly: "Can we order now? You didn't even give Tong Yan lunch..."

Jiang Xuetang glanced at her with a mixture of amusement and disbelief, finding it hard to believe that this gluttonous doll could write a diary; she probably just scribbled something.

“Okay, I’ll order for you now.” Jiang Xuetang took her phone and said as she walked, “Let’s try something different today, at another restaurant under our company.”

"Uh-huh!"

Tong Yan, beaming, followed Jiang Xuetang after closing the study door, asking curiously, "Sister Jiang, why did you call for so long today? Aren't you tired? Isn't your throat dry?"

"..."

Jiang Xuetang turned to look at Tong Yan, never expecting that this automaton would be so clueless as to ask such a question.

Looking into the innocent eyes of the child, Jiang Xuetang sighed and rubbed her forehead: "Children shouldn't ask about adult matters."

"Oh." Tong Yan nodded obediently, then suddenly asked, "Are you making a baby?"

Jiang Xuetang flicked her forehead: "Do you even know what love is? Why are you asking so many questions..."

After thinking for two seconds, Tong Yan said, "Lord Xingzhou and I are happy."

"Ok?"

This answer piqued Jiang Xuetang's interest again. After pulling Tong Yan to sit down on the sofa, she asked while ordering food, "How exactly are you happy?"
